echoed somewhat in the parliament by politicians like oh yeah. the leader of the the freedom party here and they are nationalists supporter the the history of this this movement these nationalist movements in ukraine goes way back and my colleague alexey out of takes a look at some of those deep roots of nationalism here in ukraine. chef ski barely remembers the horrific events of nine hundred forty three when ukrainian insurgents going to slaughter his village in western ukraine but the most tragic things live well in his memory. one of them caught up and shot from close range there was a huge noise like a bullet hit an ear with the temple my mom fell down she was unconscious the blood was everywhere they thought and so burned went to the village to murder they didn't kill they murdered with pitchforks and axes commuters love survived to become poland's first and only man in space nineteen members of his family including his

father and more than eighty thousand poles jews and their medians were not as lucky some of murders in what was a genuine ethnic cleansing by troops were extremely gruesome people cut in pieces with a saw. in a bottle conducted a total ethnic cleansing. shot is to destroy living on a territory they considered their property after the bowling slaughter of the murders of the both continued. and third open region of their worry craniums we tried to help provide them with shelter but those ukrainians were flowing through. seven decades later when ukraine's opposition faced off with the government pictures of those behind the slaughter resurfaced in the heart of the protest the man who formed the 1940's insurgent movement in ukraine step on when there is still pretty much tearing the country apart while many call him
4:05 am
a killer and cannot forgive the atrocities his movement had committed some at the my john i clearly guarding him as a hero of warsaw has been supportive of ukraine's protesters all along despite a chunk of the radical writers supporting the man who brought so much pain to the polish nation unpunished miners which haven't been prosecuted will always spawn new martyrs standing at his father's grave must laugh in a machete says he feels no hate towards ukrainians but he wants the truth to be told and things to be named as they should be. reporting from kiev in ukraine. the ukrainian president has already agreed to dissolve the government and council the anti runny nose which refuting the protest however protest disaster blocking central care and want him to step down and steve i james is a former deputy chief of police in the us and an expert in international police

training and hey believes the crowds are actually being emboldened by the tolerance of the authorities the videos that i have seen have shown a remarkable level of restraint basically rioters attacking the police and the police not even fighting back just holding the line and receiving the petrol bombs and the strikes from it look like everything from metal pipe to large sticks which is internationally very uncommon most police agencies will not stand there and basically become punching bags for rioters it's pretty clear that when the crowd is that confident that they can be on the police and have nothing happen that they don't fear the police intervention pretty clearly and when crowds don't fear the police in my experience that causes the crowd to become much more dangerous much more active in property damage in assaults. and in today's crosstalk with a gas consider whether they tactics used by the protesters on the streets of the
4:07 am
ukrainian capital one addressing it. they have shown extreme violence the opposition they have shown themselves to be very radical they've demanded of course the resignation of the president which they haven't yet attained violence is deplorable but when you're in a revolutionary situation it's inevitable that extremists get attracted to large scale demonstrations and the responsibility for creating that situation unfortunately lay with the government and president yannick over you know covert for better or worse he's making compromises he did over the weekend was rejected by the opposition i mean what more do they want first we should remember that violence started back in december when all the lawyers riot police attacked peaceful demonstrators on november thirtieth but they tried to attack the presidential administration and you remember what i would tell you of all was the fight there i'm not going to call these people protesters i'm going to call them known artists . the u.s.
4:08 am
president made fresh promises of a better life in his state of the union address he pledged to combat financial equality lower taxes and once again close guantanamo but as i see this account from the reports obama has a history of saying by not doing. a year of action that was the rallying cry from the u.s. president at the state of the union address here in washington but it does of course come at a time when action is anything but guaranteed it has been an incredibly difficult year for this administration obama is facing some of the low to lowest voter approval ratings of his presidency and a divided congress that has effectively blocked him at nearly every churn and so this year we saw a president who seemed to frankly up to knowledge his limitations he wasn't able to get the gun control measures he called for last year the same goes for tax reform immigration climate change closing guantanamo i mean the list of really does go on in fact according to some political scientists of forty one items that the
4:09 am
president had asked for in a state of the union address only true he's been able to achieve so now obama did try to assert himself by valli him to sidestep congress on a number of issues for example using his executive power to raise the minimum wage for federal workers but on the big ticket items his hands really are tied obama needs congress to play ball and given the current climate on capitol hill it's simply not very likely that he's going to get it now this speech was very light on foreign policy or obama did remind viewers that he's imposed limits on the use of drones and also promised again to reform u.s. surveillance but no details on how he planned to do that the president did also mention ukraine saying the u.s. stands for the principle that all people have the right to express themselves freely and peacefully and have a say in their country's future so really coming out on the side of the protesters they're not really straying from the administration response over the past few weeks and so when it comes to the actual policy proposals really not much in terms
4:10 am
of what's new we really are seeing obama sort of try to call yet again for many of the things he's called for before whether it's immigration reform tax code overhaul things that he simply has not been able to achieve perhaps trying to to to hope that twenty fourteen will be the year that he'll be able to do it but also at the same time acknowledging his limitations that those promises won't necessarily turn to action. obama's state of the union address comes as he faces a rapid decline in public tranced and recent polls show a said of the nation a pessimistic about the rest of obama's also as and has journalist on national policy on this and norman solomon believe the president's address is unlikely to change that basically what we had tonight it's a speech from the president which was a kind of hollow populism the rhetoric was there about wanting to help those who
4:11 am
are in financial need but the programs and the proposals were basically absent this president has the least power than he's ever had since he was sworn in in january of two thousand and nine and one of the things is that wall street exercise the message tower and president in the obama administration during the first term and now with much less leverage or capacity to push anything through congress he's speaking about how he wants to achieve so much for the working people of the country but in fact he has much less capacity to bring that about even if he were truly interested in accomplishing such things progress on a landmark nuclear deal between iran and other world powers of eating to ultimate is not only among politicians but in the business community to take us from ministers currently in tehran seeking to boost trade ties and many western companies are also ready to rush back in and while washington says they should hold
4:12 am
off warning iran is not yet ready for business the reality is quite different as well he's really going to come explain. this could very well be the world's newest gold rush but in the not so wild east a population of some seventy five million people a youth literacy rate of ninety percent and up and some of the world's largest oil and gas reserves in a country that's been isolated from the world for decades if this doesn't sound like a recipe for business but very little else will. right now iran is ready to host invest in segments like building railways construction oil production another industries linked with oil iran has. lots of resources. these resources need investment technology capability so when the sanctions are over. western a service companies are allowed to go and i think there will be plenty of potential

to run appears to have fulfilled the first two requirements of the recent geneva agreement by halting production of high grade uranium and stopping its most powerful centrifuges now it's waiting for the other side in the talks to deliver on their promises and ease some of the sanctions iran's new president seems to be in with enthusiasm and determination to show his country's ready for a new era of business. iran's economy has the potential to be in the top ten within the next three decades ago which i pursued through a wider planning of social economic as well as wider domestic and foreign policy well sam dusters maybe looking into making a first ever foray into iran's market others like auto giant renault are eager to get back to doing business in a familiar territory. ourselves and all of come when you factor as would love to contribute to the development of the iranian market which is already the largest market in the middle east despite the sanctions those trading restrictions cost the

french automotive company to write off five hundred million euros last year so it's understandably keen to get back to its previous ten percent market share in the country and even expand on other giants like french german siemens italy's any and norway's star to oil are reportedly sending planeloads of representatives to iran eager to talk cooperation despite the fact the ink on the geneva agreement is barely dry after all anyone who knows business also knows the timing is crucial if you go score r.t. . so the u.s. congress is still mulling more sanctions against iran but president obama in his state of the union address. he would veto any attempt to do so but it reza marashi who's a recession rector at the national iranian american companies believes that despite the u.s. leaders efforts the push for sanctions as far from over. president of the united states. together with the state department gone out and made
4:15 am
a concerted effort to show members of congress that new sanctions right now would be destructive to the diplomatic process and it would show the international community of the problem lies primarily in washington as opposed to teheran but this problem is far from over you've only bought yourself a little bit of time and this kind of crisis could very well come back up bubble back up to the forefront sooner rather than later there has been long standing and unproven argument not just from congress but especially from congress that sanctions have brought the iranians to the negotiating table so more sanctions will get america a better deal a lot of analysts and i saw the blue dispute the notion that it was say that brought iran to the table what we need right now is to trade concessions on our end for concessions on the iranian and that's how you win the peace we don't need to increase the cycle of escalation that brought us to the precipice of a war that's the worst possible thing that could happen right now. you know being
